ABSTRACT:
An insulating spacer for creating a thermally insulating bridge between spaced apart panes of a multiple pane window unit. The spacer defines an insulated space between the panes and includes a top bridge member, first and second leg members for supporting the top bridge member, a bottom bridge member and a channel portion. The top bridge member provides the sole contact with the inner and outer panes of the window unit. The top bridge member is made of a synthetic resin or composite material and can include openings. A portion of the first and second leg members adheres onto a lower surface of the top bridge member, and each member extends from that lower surface such that it is adapted to remain free from contact with the spaced apart outer panes. The first and second leg members can be bent into a zig-zag configuration. The bottom bridge member cooperates with each of the first and second leg members. The channel portion comprises a configuration in which the upper portion consists essentially of the top bridge member and the rest of the configuration comprises the first and second leg members and the bottom bridge member. The bottom bridge member can be roll-formed from the same piece of material as the first and second leg members, or formed from a material similar to, or the same as, that of the top bridge member. Methods of making the insulating spacer of the present invention also are disclosed.
